"What everyone is seeing is desperation over what no broker wants to either believe or talk about...the Poser well is amost dry. They are just desperate for products to sell. Constant sales is never the sign of a thriving market." Anton, thanks for everything you have written here. I agree with it all. This little bit that I have quoted above really stood out for me. I wonder if anyone else has noticed it? I've been using Poser now for nearly four years. I have spent ridiculous amounts of money on what is only a hobby for me. And now...in all truthfulness...the joy of it has worn off. I have indeed seen most everything before. In fact I have bought it in most cases. ;-) I still buy...a little here and a little there. More and more, I create my pictures with half-remembered treasures buried in my runtime folder...or stuff downloaded two years ago and never used. It's kind of like Anton's search for antique Christmas ornaments; my poking and peeking through folders and back-up disks often yields up a gem. The future of Poser merchandise, in my very humble opinion, would have to be with new Poser (or maybe DAZ Studio?)users. Those of us who have been around awhile probably have started to grow a little jaded. We already have twelve sets of armour, in other words. ;-) Does anyone else agree? I seriously wonder. Kimberly
